I was riding in the fog today; especially on the way home from the salvage store. When I left home it was still raining; but often fog is worse than rain.

I don’t have a pair of these anti-fog goggles; and regular glasses quickly become so wet and misty that I’m riding blind. Of course I could get some anti-fog spray; but I took the lazy way out and didn’t wear my glasses (although I did take them with me).

Fortunately it wasn’t raining as hard as I feared; although it apparently poured last night. I wore my poncho, partly for warmth; and for a change, there was hardly any wind.

While I was pedaling back home, the rain had stopped; but I saw that the fog had increased a good deal. What do you do when riding in the fog?

For me, the first rule is to slow down; especially if it’s dark. Light up your ride, too. A headlight atop your helmet is better than one mounted on the handlebars, because you can point it in any direction by turning your head.

Stay alert! That’s a good rule at any time; but especially during inclement weather. People and things can emerge from the mist all of a sudden!

I won’t be riding in the fog tomorrow; but it’s going to be cold again! And windy. I wish it would stay either warm or cold; not change every few days!
